"Ah? Oh! Ahem..." The Guobei County magistrate finally woke up and pretended to cough several times, but he was thinking in his heart. What a beautiful little lady, if I can keep her, I can say anything.
However, when the Guobei County magistrate opened the envelope, he was so frightened that he almost sat down on the ground.
"Heavenly power of attorney!"
Big drops of sweat came out from the forehead of the Guobei County magistrate. This was a heaven-level letter of authorization written by the monarch of the Aolai Kingdom to the Holy Ji Sect. In exchange for a large amount of reward, the Holy Ji Sect was entrusted to send out Lianxu Hedao. The pinnacle of power, complete this mission. In other words, the two people in front of them are the peak experts of Lianxu Hedao sent by Shengji Sect. Thinking of his bold behavior and wishful thinking just now, the magistrate of Guobei County was so frightened that he ran down and crawled down, knelt down tremblingly, and said to Ji Shaoyu, "Xia Guan Guo Magistrate of Beixian County, I didn’t know that the two immortals were coming, so I missed the welcome. Please forgive me, please forgive me!”
Most ordinary people in the secular world only know that there is a kind of person in the world who knows various magics, can call the wind and rain, and can change the color of mountains and rivers with a single movement of his hands. He is called an immortal cultivator. I don't know at all. Although the magistrate of Guobei County is just a mortal, he also knows that when the cultivators of Lianxu Hedao are angry, they will all die if they just move their fingers.
The master, the police officer, and the officials all knelt down when they heard this, not even daring to take a breath.
"Get up." Seeing this, Ji Shaoyu no longer wanted to teach the Guobei County Magistrate a lesson, but said in an indifferent tone.
"Yes! Many thanks to the Immortal." The magistrate of Guobei County stood up and wiped his sweat without daring to raise his head. He said respectfully, "I wonder if the two Immortals have come to this county, but what orders do you have?"
"Entrusted by the monarch of the Aolai Kingdom, kill this thousand-year-old tree demon in Guobei County and tell everything you know about that monster." Ji Shaoyu discovered before entering the city that there was an area in the east of the city. In the woods, the aura of monsters is soaring, but I don’t know what kind of monster it is, what special abilities or magic weapon it has. Some special monsters, after transforming, will have one or two special innate skills, which are equivalent to the blood of the ancient gods of the human race, or one or two spiritual weapons and magic weapons refined with their own bodies, or even divine weapons and spiritual treasures.
"Two Immortals, please go to the back hall to rest. I will ask someone to prepare good wine and food for the two Immortals, so that they can receive the wind and wash away the dust." Although the immortal cultivators who are still in the realm of god refining have been able to live without grains, but Don't be afraid of fireworks in the world. The delicacies of the world are also a kind of enjoyment for those who cultivate immortality.
"No need, just tell me everything you know." Ji Shaoyu obviously doesn't want to stay in this official residence for a long time. Now Ji Shaoyu only wants to practice and open the eyes of reincarnation as soon as possible. Before leaving, Ao Ji told Ji Shaoyu about the wild and wild things. What happened in Yu three years ago gave Ji Shaoyu a sense of crisis. Ji Shaoyu didn't have much interest in worldly delicacies, let alone the cold-tempered Ji Yuxuan.
"Yes! Yes!" The magistrate of Guobei County nodded and bowed, not daring to say "no" at all. He was completely different from his previous arrogance.
"Master, please report the situation in Lanruo Temple to the two immortals soon." When the Guobei County magistrate spoke to the master, his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. The magistrate of Guobei County is also a faint-hearted official who never cares about official matters. The report to the court about the haunting of Lanruo Temple a while ago was just the master's suggestion. Too many people died and the commotion was panicked. They were afraid that they would be implicated.
"Lanruo Temple?" Ji Shaoyu raised his eyebrows and asked a little surprised when he heard this familiar name from his previous life.
"Yes, report back to the Immortal. There is a forest ten miles east of the city. There is an ancient temple that has been abandoned for a long time in the forest. That is Lanruo Temple. Since Lanruo Temple was haunted a few years ago, whether it is a passerby or a visitor, All the hunters who were hunting in the forest died in the forest. A month ago, a minister from the imperial court came to catch ghosts and died in Lanruo Temple. If the two immortals wanted to go to Lanruo Temple to catch ghosts. , please be careful.”
The people worshiped by Aolai Country are only some immortal cultivators who refine their energy and become gods. At most, there are only one or two immortal cultivators who refine their spirits and return to reality. Most of them are casual cultivators without any sect, or disciples of some small sects. In order to obtain the resources for cultivation, they have to serve in the secular court. A month ago, the Aolai Kingdom received a memorial from the magistrate of Guobei County and sent a cultivator who was in the late stages of refining energy and becoming a god to catch ghosts. Unexpectedly, he died in Lanruo Temple. Before his death, the cultivator in the late stage of refining energy and becoming a god sent back a message, "Thousand-year-old tree demon!"
The government and the public in Aolai were shocked, and they quickly issued a commission to the Holy Ji Sect and raised the task level to heaven level.
The master only knew that the immortal cultivators were all immortal beings. As for the classification of the immortal cultivators, he didn't know clearly. He said this just out of formality.
Is this just a coincidence? Or is it really Lan Ruo Si from A Chinese Ghost Story
"Apart from this, is there anything else?" Ji Shaoyu asked.
"Reporting to the Immortal, although we are all officials in Guobei County, we never dare to approach Lanruo Temple. In addition to Lanruo Temple being haunted, there are many wild wolves in that forest. No one who has been there can Come back alive, please forgive me." The master leaned over and said humbly.
"In that case, Xuan'er, let's go!" Seeing that nothing could be found, Ji Shaoyu didn't want to stay any longer and said to Ji Yuxuan.
Ji Yuxuan nodded lightly and left the Guobei County Yamen with Ji Shaoyu. The Guobei County magistrate did not dare to retain Ji Shaoyu and watched them leave while wiping sweat.
Ji Shaoyu and Ji Yuxuan were walking on the street. Ji Yuxuan had a cold temperament and didn't like to talk much. All Ji Shaoyu thought about was the three words "Lanruo Temple".
Suddenly, Ji Shaoyu stopped in front of a painting stall, and Ji Yuxuan also stopped. Following Ji Shaoyu's gaze, he saw that it was a picture of a beautiful woman washing her hair. It couldn't be said to be lifelike, but it still had some charm. It can be seen that the woman in the painting is quite beautiful, but the artist's skills are unable to depict her.
Another familiar scene confirmed Ji Shaoyu's suspicion.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just thought of something." Ji Shaoyu shook his head and said.
However, his eyes fell on the down-and-out scholar with a bookcase on his side, and Lilith's voice also sounded in her heart, "You have found a plot character, do you want to enter the plot mode?"
"What is plot mode?" Ji Shaoyu asked in his heart.
"Devil Contract found multiple plot copies in this world, at different stages. The host's current commissioned task is exactly one of the plot copies that is about to be opened. Entering the plot mode, the host must complete the tasks released by the Devil Contract. If the task fails, There will be punishment, but there will also be corresponding rewards for completing the task," Lilith said.
There are multiple plot copies, is A Chinese Ghost Story one of them? Ji Shaoyu has one more doubt about this world. What kind of world is this.
But after hearing that there was a reward, Ji Shaoyu, who was familiar with the plot of A Chinese Ghost Story, agreed without saying a word, "Lilith, enter the plot mode."
(Thanks to our "non-lady" for the reward of 588 starting coins!!)
